Jamie O'Neal - Like a Woman - (Single)

"I fell in love with this Jamie O'Neal!" - says my boyfriend!
This is the perfect gift if you are looking for a present for a female, 25-45. Anyone who likes country, ballads or adult contemporary music that is a fan of Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood or Martina McBride will love this single!
The first thing you notice is the voice, a sunburst of emotion that lets you know you're in the presence of someone special. It's throaty and powerful, full of confidence, brimming with personality and shaded with country, soul and gospel textures.
The second thing you notice is the songwriting - lyrics that stray off the beaten path to explore new shadows of the human heart. These songs are the works of a woman who understands the beauty of true craftsmanship.
Jamie O'Neal is that rare individual, a debut artist who arrives with her talent fully formed. A superb live entertainer, a polished songwriter and a real "singer's singer," Jamie has poured a lifetime of experience into the creation of her music
"I have always wanted to be in Nashville," says Jamie O'Neal. "I have dreamed of this my entire life."

But I was very pleasantly surprised by this collection as each artist (all very skilled and true artists) made each track their own. They made them new again. The songs kept their original flavor, while bringing something new, whether it was singing in a different key, adding harmonies, adding riffs, or giving the song a new feel. My favorite was Kevon Edmonds' rendition of "Never Let You Down." It was so good, I think that might have to be my wedding song someday! Kem's rendering of "Golden Time of Day" sent chills down my spine. I loved the new feel added to Musiq's "Silky Soul" and "I Wanna Thank You" with The Clark Sisters. Raheem DeVaughn knocked me out with his vocals on "We Are One," and Ledisi proved why she is a true artist and a powerful singer on "Happy Feelins." Mint Condition, the only band on the LP, turned in a solid performance that paid tribute to the old while making it new, while Joe and Avant were smooth on their tracks. The only track I wasn't impressed with was Mary J. Blige's "Before I Let Go." That's a hard song to remake and have people accept, but Mary didn't even sound like she was trying. But the song is not unbearable. This CD was so good, I HAD to write a review!”– J Double U (Amazon.com Review)

While faithful to the originals, these tracks vary in many ways, both in the colors their voices bring to the harmonies and in the styles of guitar work on display.
Both performers clearly love the era and the radio singles they sang along to when they were young. Their emotional fidelity is as remarkable as their technical proficiency, and the fact that both have retained their youthful attitudes and voices in middle age (Hoffs is 50!) amazes this aging baby-boomer.
Both CDs are a joy to listen to, and we can only hope that the two will give us further volumes devoted to the 80s, when Hoffs' group The Bangles had their heyday, and to the 90s, when Sweet made his commercial breakthrough.
I also recommend the bonus tracks that you can download for this album, which include ten more interesting and adventuresome cuts:” – T.Davis “Tom Davis” (Amazon.com Review)

Hardly the case with James Taylor- he never ceases to make wonderful music and take old songs and put his twist to it. This is one of the few Christmas albums that I love that is only by one person- it has such a mellow, stay at home with the family and fire type sound to it. You won't be disappointed!” – Ashley Hayes-Beaty (Amazon.com Review)

not all of the CDs in this series work. there's something incredibly creepy, for example, listening to the pink floyd lullaby "mother" when you know the words. but the zeppelin one goes down peacefully and easily. i think the most touching moment of my evenings these days is when my son and i listen to the song "thank you" and he sings to me:
"when mountains crumble to the sea
there will still be you and me."
thought i'd hate it. and i love it. go figure.” - Sheryl Stein “wrekehavoc”(Amazon.com Review)

Their second release ‘Ocean, Meet the Valley’ is a little darker, a little deeper, and more dynamic yet retains some of the warm, catchy hooks that characterized their first release. They teamed up with engineer/producer Chris Grainger with one goal: to bring out the best in each other. Working long hours over 10 days, they bottled up a year of life, love, loss, and dreams to create a record with no pretentions and as rich as the gulf air.
Sonically, this record possesses vintage tones through the use of 70’s era equipment and concepts. Acoustic guitars and warm, gritty electrics are intertwined with the smooth chime of a Rhodes or the haunt of a Hammond. Tones find their way to and fro through the structure of the song enough to keep things interesting without overshadowing the lyrical message. Take the raw energy of the Pixies and mix it with the understated themes of early Kenny Rogers, and you get something like this.” (Quotation taken from The Literary Greats website).

There is so much heart & soul put into these Christmas songs. The only problem is, there are only 5 or 6 songs. But that only means that you need to just keep replaying it. If you want a new twist on Christmas music. This is it. Michael Buble is one of the best performers out their today. I am so happy they re-released it. I bought some for my friends. It was the perfect xmas gift.” – Leela Godino (Amazon.com Review)

I WAS DEAD WRONG! This album is AMAZING! The only thing I don't understand is why "Happy" is the first single off the album and not "Can't Breathe." "Can't Breathe" is one of the most incredible vocals I have ever heard, and an overall amazing work of production, writing and vocals. I give this one a 20 out of 10! I just hope they release "Can't Breathe" as the second single. It is easily the best song off the album!” – MVP Sports Cards & Collectibles (Amazon.com Review)
